PPRO 3.0 Stability Question

[Steven L. gotz]

Without Axio it certainly has been stable for me. I don’t have Axio so someone else will need to respond.

It’s very stable with Axios. I have two Axio LE machines, and one AXIO HD.

Some people have experienced instability on long format HD projects, or too many layers with HDV footage, which goes away when they add Matrox hardware acceleration, either RT.X2 or Axio.

I work primarily on my Axios, so I haven’t encountered problems, regardless of complexity or length.

The Axio becomes invaluable if you are mixing formats and resolutions, as it keeps everything realtime. I have done five camera multicam shoots mixing HDCAM, DVCProHD, and HDV, doing multicam edits in PPro with my Axios, and it works great. I can’t imagine doing those edits without the Axio. Or on any other system, for that matter.

I think you’ll find mixed results across the user base.

With Mac’s ability to at least recognize it has more than 2.5 Gigs of RAM in the box, I’ve had good luck editing with the few Macs I’ve used. For my PC, which is not at all underconfigured, I still have issues exporting timelines without a restart if I’ve been editing for a while…

…don’t know what else to say on that.

I have heard that Axio users don’t seem to have as many issues…but I have no first hand experience in that…

Tim,

I think you’re probably right about the RAM limitations of Windows XP. These problems should go away with Vista, since it doesn’t have the same memory issues, but not everything supports Vista yet, including the Axios.
